I am trying to go through the process of installing maemo 5 beta scratchbox and the SDK from <a href="http://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/node4.html#SECTION00442000000000000000" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/node4.htm</a>l and <a href="http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_5-0_installation/">http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_5-0_installation/</a><br>
<br>I am running ArchLinux, and used the automated scratchbox installer, and everything seemed to go well. However when I invoke the automated sdk installer script it complains about the /dev user directory not being set up. Any suggestions, or do I have to install Ubuntu just to develop for Maemo?<br>
